One thing the Covid catastrophe helped to do is expose the insanity on our campuses. Far from the romantic and naive image of ivy-covered buildings inside of which our youth was educated by the best and brightest minds, we were shown the seedy, ignorant, jingoistic underbelly of academia: Pink-haired lunatics cheering for terrorists; life-long academics…

Flipping a blue state sounds eminently doable in our brave new world of President Trump. He has knocked the Democrat party flat on its corrupt ass with a flurry of executive orders, bills, and foreign policy changes that are designed to remake our economy, culture, and relationship with the rest of the world. The Democrats…

The headline says it all! What this demonstrates is that the enforcement of our laws protecting American workers from predation by illegals is woefully inadequate. A nice fine levied against every employer who employs illegals would be a fine start. How about 100 times the hourly wage employers pay the illegals….each day they work? That…

Most of the readers of this website will agree that the Federal government is catastrophically, chaotically, crushingly bloated, and its restrictions as articulated by the United States Constitution have been ignored by the legislature, the executive and, sadly, by the judiciary. But what is the proper function of the federal government in today’s modern society?…

The problem with civilian oversight of our armed forces is that a fair amount of the oversight occurs in the United States Congress, and as we have seen over the past several weeks, they are a bunch of sleazy, brazenly corrupt, ignorant functionaries who have lost sight of the important work with which they have…

American Exceptionalism! What a grand and glorious thing…driven by (among other things) the self selection of exactly who comes here. Until fairly recently it was incredibly difficult just to arrive on our shores. Weeks or months-long voyages with no guarantee that one would survive the trip, only to arrive in America and have to fend…

We have all seen it, ad nauseam. The ardent leftist screaming and ranting and raving about the topic de jour, because the left has convinced its shock troops that emotion and feelings and simple volume, complete with weird body language and gestures is a perfect replacement for considered, rational argument. Sadly, that is not limited…

Anyone who trusts the government to respect his privacy and his rights is a fool. And all governments (federal, state, local) are the same…an insatiable desire for power and control and — this is the big one — knowledge of our innermost secrets, or how many garbage cans we fill each week. It doesn’t matter;…

On April 15, 2019, Notre Dame de Paris, one of the glories of Western culture, burned. Not to the ground, but the devastation was a shock. The magnificent spire, or flèche, was destroyed, as was the wooden supporting structure of the lead roof, which collapsed. Seeing the destruction soon after the fire was a depressing…

What to do when traditional conservative belief that government should not involve itself in markets, runs smack into national security concerns? Every time the government tries to pick winners and losers, the taxpayer loses. From sports stadium subsidies to redevelopment zones to ridiculous subsidies for favored industries like “Green Energy” and EVs, the only people…
